Battery Safety Guidelines - Kyocera Milano C5121 User Manual

Battery Safety Guidelines

• Do not disassemble or open the battery.
• Do not crush, bend, deform, puncture, or
shred the battery.
• Do not attempt to insert foreign objects into
the battery.
• Do not immerse the battery or expose it to
water or other liquids. Even if a battery
appears to dry out and operate normally,
internal parts can slowly corrode and pose a
safety hazard.
• Always keep the battery between 15 °C and
25 °C (59 °F and 77 °F). Do not expose the
battery to extremes of temperature (heat or
cold), fire, or other hazards such as a
cooking surface, iron, or radiator.
• Never use any damaged battery.
• Only use the battery for its intended device.
• Only use the battery with a qualified
charger. Use of an unqualified battery
charger may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage, or other hazard. If you
are unsure about whether a charger is
qualified, contact customer support.
• Do not short-circuit the battery or allow
metallic conductive objects—such as keys,
coins, or jewelry—to contact the battery's
terminals.
• Replace the battery only with another
qualified battery. Use of an unqualified
battery may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage, or other hazard. If you
are unsure about whether a replacement
battery is compatible, contact customer
support.

• Promptly dispose of used batteries in
accordance with local regulations and
recycle if possible. Do not dispose as
household waste.
• Supervise all battery usage by children.
• Avoid dropping the device or battery. If the
device or battery is dropped, especially on a
hard surface, an internal short-circuit can
occur and pose a safety hazard. If you
suspect battery damage, take it to a service
center for inspection.
• Improper battery use may result in a fire,
explosion, or other hazard.
Battery Life Management
Because your device provides an abundance of
information and applications at 3G speed, it
requires a lot of power. To get the most out of
your battery, consider turning off options that
require a data connection for notification tasks
like Bluetooth, GPS, and Wi-Fi. You can also
decrease the screen brightness, screen timeout
time and listen to music directly from the
microSD card rather than stream over the
network or via Wi-Fi.
The following can also reduce battery life
between charges:
• Playing games or using the Web.
• Keeping backlighting on.
• Operating when far away from a base
station or cell site.
• Using data cables or accessories.
• Operating when no service is available, or
service is available intermittently.
• High earpiece and ringer volume settings.
• Repeating sound, vibration, or lighted
alerts.
